The advantages of synthetic drugs

Synthetic or anabolic steroids are basically manufactured in laboratories related to male sex hormone testosterone. Synthetic drugs promote skeletal muscle growth and develop male sexual characteristics in both male and female. Synthetic drugs were developed in the 1930s to treat Hypogonadism, a condition in which the testes will not be able to produce sufficient testosterone for normal growth, sexual functioning, and development. The core medical uses of these synthetic drugs are to treat delayed puberty, impotence, muscle wasting disease among HIV-infected patients. Unfortunately, all synthetic drugs are not manufactured under laboratory and most of them are produced in underground markets. So, they might not adhere to the quality, standard, protocols, and safety measures. Most of the athletes and bodybuilders run around to buy such synthetic drugs without a prescription.

Two kinds of synthetic supplements are often used in medical treatments such as autoimmune disorder and inflammatory conditions like asthma, allergy, arthritis, delayed puberty. The said problems are solved by exogenously administered steroids. However, it is not medically recommended for bodybuilding and performance enhancement. Synthetic drugs have both short and long term negative effects among men and women.

The doses may be 10-100 times higher than the prescribed dose to treat medical conditions. Synthetic steroids are also applied on the skin as gel, patch, and cream. Some of the athletes miscalculate that they can avoid unnecessary side effects by taking in the ways such as:

Stacking – Combing two or more varieties of anabolic drugs

Cycling – Intaking doses for a period of time, stopping it and again resuming
